EDITORIAL

Mobilizing against fresh terror threat The threat by Greece's Revolutionary Struggle guerrilla group to step up attacks against the authorities has plunged the government and the police into deep reflection. Most experts agree that the militant organization, which appears to have inherited the mantle of the now-defunct November 17 terrorist group, is organizing a more spectacular and lethal strike.

COMMENTARY

Old is gold Costas Laliotis's comeback is a politically loaded move. George Papandreou, the leader of the Socialists, was not keen to pluck the ejected party secretary from PASOK's reserves. Although fine on the surface, their relationship has always been somewhat antagonistic.
